This is me totally!! Before I've even finished a project I'm thinking about what I'm going to title my picture thread. :D I definitely get the best response and feedback from this group. I really love it here. :)
To the original poster, your quilt is lovely and is very good for a first! I'm sorry you didn't get the response you were hoping for from your sister. Like a lot of members have already stated, I don't think non-quilters understand the work involved in making a quilt. I recently gave my mom a wall hanging I made for Mother's Day and though she was thankful and said it was beautiful, she didn't give me quite the response I was looking for. She just didn't seem real excited about it. My husband suggested the same thing a few other members did. Make some stuff for myself and just keep the next few projects.
Great job and looking forward to seeing your second!
